Initial data
Two very bright white lights with blue cone-shaped contrails approached from the northeast, turned south, and then seemed to leave the ionosphere, heading east.
I went outside to water the plant and looked up at the clear starry sky to the east. Two very bright white lights seemed to be approaching me from the northeast, like landing lights, but in space. Both turned in formation and headed south, apparently entering the ionosphere, where a bright blue aura appeared in front of them, and a wide blue cone shaped like a badminton bird appeared behind each of them.
I shouted to the others to go outside and get a video camera. I thought these objects were similar to Hale Bopp and could be comets; but they slowed down, apparently entering the ionosphere, and maneuvered in a loose formation.
Four other people went outside and watched the objects while I videotaped them as they move south in the eastern sky, then turn east and apparently leave the ionosphere again. I zoomed out the video to get an accurate ground reference point so that the celestial geometry could be calculated.
The next morning, I calibrated the video camera's clock to GPS time. I later spoke to observers 21 miles and 50 miles away who saw similar objects around the same time. The video recording is digital and not bad.
I read the reports on your web page today and agree with most of the descriptions of the orientation and behavior of the objects, except that the objects I observed definitely came from the northeast, turned south, and then apparently left the ionosphere, heading east.
This is not the typical behavior of an intercontinental ballistic missile. It is noteworthy that the brightest aspect of the objects was on the leading edge, and the lighting was much less when viewed from behind. This is also an atypical ICBM light pattern, which is brightest in the stern.

Summary: Two very bright white lights with blue cone shaped contrails approached from northeast, turned south, and then appeared to depart ionosphere heading east.
I stepped outside to water a plant and looked up into a clear and starlit eastern sky. Two very bright white lights appeared to be coming toward me from northeast, like landing lights but in space. Both turned in formation and headed south, apparently entering ionosphere where a bright light blue aura appeared in front and broad badminton birdie shaped cone of blue appeared behind each. I shouted to others to come outside and bring videocamera. My thoughts were that these objects looked like Hale Bopp and might be comets; but, they slowed down upon apparently entering ionosphere and maneuvered in loose formation. Four other people came outside and observed the objects as I videotaped them moving south in the eastern sky and then turn to the east and apparently depart the ionosphere again. I zoomed video out to get exact ground reference point so that celestial geometry could be figured. The next morning I calibrated video camera clock with GPS time. I later talked with observers 21 miles away and 50 miles away who saw similar objects around same time. The videotape is digital and quite good. Today I read your web page accounts and agree with most descriptions of objects orientation and behavior, except that the objects I observed definitely came from northeast, turned south, and then apparently left ionosphere heading east. This does not seem to be typical ICBM behavior. It is of note that the brightest aspect of the objects was on the leading edge, and illumination was much less in rear view. This is also not typical ICBM illumination pattern, which is brightest in stern view. I am former US Navy pilot and have seen numerous missile launches.
